[93] I am the Eighth [Dagger Remedy] Master and I cross with my dagger. And this cover is good both armored or unarmored. And some of my plays are shown before me, and some are shown after me… |
In this way, I carry my dagger while fighting during the cross[ing]. Any defense |
[17r-c] ¶ L'otavo Magistro son e incroso cum mia daga. E questo zogo è bon in arme e senç'arme. E li miei zogi sono posti alchuni denanzi alchuni di driedo. Lo zogo che m'è denanzi zoè lo quarto zogo çoè che fere lo zugadore in la man cum la punta di sua daga per lo simile poria ferir costuy di sotta mano come ello lo fere di sopra. Anchora poria pigliar la sua mano in la zuntura cum la mia man stancha e cum la dritta lo poria ben ferire segondo che trovarete dredo di mi lo nono scolaro del nono Magistro che fere lo zugadore nel petto. Anchora poria fare lo ultimo zogo ch'è dredo abandonando la mia daga. |
[37r-a] ¶ Hac cruce porto mea[m] daga[m] luctando. nec obstat | ||||
[94] …In the play that is shown before me, three plays back [72], the Zugadore was struck in his hand with the point of his opponent's dagger. Similarly in this play I could strike downwards to his hand just as in the earlier play I struck upwards to his hand. Also, I could seize his hand at the wrist with my left hand, and then strike him hard with my right hand, just as you will find demonstrated by the ninth student [108] of the Ninth [Dagger Remedy] Master, who strikes the Zugadore in the chest. Also, I could do the last play that follows after [109] where I drop my own dagger and take his. |

[95] I am the counter-remedy to the Eighth [Dagger Remedy] Master that preceded me, and to all of his students… [This counter was moved before [97] and [98] because it is unclear how they relate to the Eight Master.] |
[17r-d] ¶ So' ben lo contrario del otavo zogo che m'è dinanzi e di tutti soy scolari. E se io alungo la man mia mancha al suo cubito, penzendolo per força a modo che lo porò ferire ala traversa. Anchora in quello voltare che gli farò poria butargli lo brazo al collo e ferirlo per asay modi che si pò fare. |

[96] After this turn that I make you do …If I extend my left hand to his elbow, I can push it so strongly that I can strike him obliquely. Also, as I make him turn I can throw my arm around his neck and hurt him in a variety of possible ways. |
[12a-b] Per la uolta che presta t'ò fata far |
||||||
[97] This is a guard that is a strong cover in armor or unarmored. It is a good cover because from it you can quickly put your opponent into a lower lock or “strong key.” This is what is depicted by the sixth play [54] of the Third [Dagger Remedy] Master who defends against the reverse hand strike and who uses his left arm to bind the Zugadore’s right arm. |
[17v-a] ¶ Questa si è una guardia e si è zogo forte in arme e senç'arme. L'è bona perché la è subita de mettere uno in ligadura de sotto e chiave forte ch'è depenta lo Sexto zogo del terço Magistro che zoga a man riversa che tene lo zugadore ligado cum lo suo brazo stancho lo suo dritto. |
||||||
[98] This cover that I make like this with arms crossed is good in armor or unarmored. And my play puts the Zugadore into the lower lock, which is also called the “strong key,” which the scholar who preceded me told you about, namely the sixth play [54] of the Third Master who defends with his right hand against the reverse hand strike. And this play is made similarly to the play that immediately preceded me, but is begun in a slightly different way. And our counter–remedy again is the elbow push. [The Master in the right image is missing both garter and crown.] |
[17v-b] ¶ Questa coverta che io fazzo a questo modo cum li brazzi incrosadi, si è bona in arme e senç'arme. El mio zogo si è di metter questo zugadore in la ligadura di sotto zoè quella ch'è chiamada chiave forte in quella che dise lo scolaro che m'è denanzi zoè in lo Sesto zogo del terço Re che zoga cum la mano dritta a man riversa. E questo zogo si fa similemente che se fa questo primo che m'è denançi ben ch'el sia per altro modo fatto. E llo nostro contrario si è a pençere ne lo cubito. |
